Teacher Training at London School of Languages
Teaching English is one of the most portable careers in the world. With the right qualification, you can teach in schools and language academies across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America — or work online from anywhere. The Teacher Training programme at London School of Languages is built to get you that qualification, whether you're brand new to teaching or already in a classroom and looking to specialise.
Our teacher-training courses sit in the well-established TEFL / TESOL family (Teaching English as a Foreign Language / Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). These are the credentials that schools and academies around the world recognise. By the end of the course, you'll have the methodology, the lesson-planning toolkit, and crucially the supervised classroom practice you need to walk into your first paid teaching role.
Who Studies Teacher Training With Us
- Recent graduates planning to travel and teach English abroad for 1–3 years.
- Career changers moving from other professions into teaching.
- Working teachers wanting a recognised international credential.
- Returning expats or retirees turning English fluency into a part-time career.
What Teacher Training Actually Covers
Strong English fluency is a prerequisite, not the course itself. Teacher Training is mostly about pedagogy: how adults learn languages, how to plan lessons that actually teach, classroom management, error correction, lesson stages, materials selection and assessment. You'll observe experienced teachers, plan and deliver your own lessons to real students, and receive structured feedback every step of the way.
Where Teacher-Training Graduates End Up
Common first roles after the course: language-school teacher in continental Europe, English teacher in East or Southeast Asia, conversation tutor in the Middle East, online English teacher from home. Many graduates move up to Senior Teacher and Academic Manager positions within 3–5 years. Others go further academically — a Master's in TESOL or Applied Linguistics — and move into curriculum design, teacher training or international education leadership.
How the Programme Is Delivered
The classroom-practice element of teacher training is best done in person, with real students. Our on-campus Teacher Training runs in London. Theory components are available online and in distance-learning formats for students unable to relocate, with the practical teaching block scheduled when you can attend. Talk to admissions to design the right mix for you.
